    Leaning b Jacks 9 (Kent 90-3 v Surrey 671-9 dec)

    Ripper!

    Will Jacks gets one to turn a mile back in to Jack Leaning, the Kent batter tries to drive but is beaten by the spin.

    Kent three down and wobbling.

    Gohar c Hildreth b Davey 0 (Gloucestershire 144-6 v Somerset 591-7 dec)

    Josh Davey strikes again!

    He entices new batter Zafar Gohar into a big drive off only his second ball and it flies to James Hildreth at first slip.

    Gloucestershire are going to be batting for a second time later today unless something remarkable happens.

    Yorkshire 101-4 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    Joe Root guides Luke Wood backward of point to the boundary and that brings up the Yorkshire 100.

    The hosts finally have a bit of momentum with five fours in the last eight deliveries.

    Yorkshire 97-4 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    Harry Brook is a joy to watch at the moment.

    The 23-year-old flicks George Balderson through mid-wicket for four and then finishes the over with two lovely drives to the rope.

    He's on 17 from 14 balls and his average for the season climbs to 163!

    A nice push through the covers for two brings up a half-century for Dom Sibley.

    It has come off 159 balls, so a bit of a snail's pace but he is laying a platform as Warwickshire try to respond to their massive deficit.

    A 50 partnership too, for the third wicket between him and Sam Hain.

  6. Postpublished at 11:51 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Yorkshire 81-4 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    Left-armer Luke Wood has replaced James Anderson and Joe Root finishes his first over with a lovely drive to the boundary.

    Root's up to 13.

  7. Postpublished at 11:46 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Yorkshire 79-4 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    The shot of a man in form.

    Harry Brook drives George Balderson for a lovely straight four to get off the mark. Perfection.

  8. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 11:45 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Higgins lbw b Davey 31 (Gloucestershire 144-5 v Somerset 591-7 dec)

    The breakthrough in Bristol!

    Josh Davey has bowled nicely this morning and he has his reward as he traps Ryan Higgins on his back pad in front of middle and leg.

    A lot of pressure on youngster Jacob Bethell now to drag Gloucestershire towards any sort of total.

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 11:41 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Bell-Drummond c Pope b Overton 13 (Kent 71-2 v Surrey 671-9 dec)

    That's a stunning catch by Ollie Pope!

    Daniel Bell-Drummond edges a beauty from Jamie Overton and Pope dives full stretch at second slip to grab the ball one-handed, low down to the ground.

    You won't see a better catch than that all season.

  10. Postpublished at 11:40 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Yorkshire 73-4 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    James Anderson strays leg-side and Joe Root clips him fine to the boundary.

    A first four for the former England captain.

  11. Postpublished at 11:36 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Yorkshire 68-4 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    Harry Brook, with 635 runs in six innings this season, is in at six for Yorkshire.

    Can he continue his sensational form? They need him to.

  12. Division Two updatepublished at 11:34 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Glamorgan have removed Durham nightwatchman Matty Potts at the Riverside where Durham have edged into a second innings lead at 55-3.

    Haseeb Hameed was out for 5 in Nottinghamshire's second innings, as they look to build a big lead over Middlesex at Lord's.

    The 400 is up for Sussex as they near a 200-run first innings advantage over Leicestershire.

    While Leus du Plooy and Luis Reece have taken Derbyshire's score to 311-4, in response to Worcestershire's 368.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 11:34 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Hill c Vilas b Anderson 25 (Yorkshire 68-4 v Lancashire 566-9 dec)

    James Anderson strikes!

    The England paceman bangs one in short to George Hill and the Yorkshire opener scoops it into the air where Dane Vilas takes the catch.

    The hosts are four down at Headingley and in all sorts of bother.

  14. Postpublished at 11:32 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Yorkshire 68-3 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    Joe Root faces his first ball off James Anderson and pinches a single to get off the mark.

    Battles between these two pals have been few and far between in recent years, but they're always fascinating.

  15. Postpublished at 11:25 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Warwickshire 97-2 v Northants 597-6 dec

    Sedate stuff in the second city this morning.

    Some accurate bowling and watchful batting from Dominic Sibley and Sam Hain has seen nine runs added in six overs.

  16. Overton offpublished at 11:22 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Gloucestershire 138-4 v Somerset 591-7 dec

    After managing two overs and a ball this morning with some discomfort, Craig Overton is limping off the field at Bristol.

    With England's first Test against New Zealand coming up on 2 June, this is one to keep an eye on with the Somerset man keen to keep his place in Ben Stokes' first match as captain.

  17. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 11:21 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Loten lbw b Bailey (Yorkshire 62-3 v Lancashire 566-9 dec)

    The nightwatchman is gone!

    It's a big, looping full toss from Tom Bailey which hits Tom Loten on the pad and up goes the finger.

    It was almost in slow motion. A really strange dismissal that brings Joe Root to the crease.

  18. Postpublished at 11:18 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Gloucestershire 138-4 v Somerset 591-7 dec

    The 50 partnership is up between Jacob Bethell and Ryan Higgins. A long way to go though.

    Some nice strokes this morning from Bethell. The 18-year-old is making his debut having joined on a short-term loan deal from Warwickshire.

    Kent 54-1 v Surrey 671-9 dec

    Kent face a huge task over the next couple of days to try and get anything out of the match at Beckenham.

    But the positive news for Kent fans is that the pitch is flat and they have one of the competition's in-form batters at the crease.

    Ben Compton is averaging just under 100 this season with 580 runs and three centuries under his belt.

    The left-hander is unbeaten on 22.

  20. Postpublished at 11:11 British Summer Time 14 May 2022

    Yorkshire 61-2 v Lancashire 566-9 dec

    James Anderson is searching for his first wicket of the match.

    The 39-year-old has made an impressive start for Lancashire so far this season - eight wickets at 18.25.

    0-31 off nine overs in this innings.
